"The future of textile chemical segment looks promising. Year-on-year the application of textile chemicals have continued to evolve and expand into different textile sectors. The recent development in antimicrobials has played a key part in augmenting the durability of textiles, garments and providing stronger protection against contaminants." - Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director & Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd. From pre-treatment of textiles to the finishing, chemicals are vital for fabricating textile materials for a vast variety ofuses. Home furnishing and apparel textiles in particular, have been key contributors to demand for textile chemicals in India over the years. However, since the past few quarters there has been a dynamic shift in demand for textile chemicals due to the pandemic. "The demand for apparel and home furnishing industry have been hard hit as consumers are buying less of these items. On the contrary there has been a vertical rise in the demand for oil & water repellents and anti-viral coatings for producing PPE kits, face masks and for various medical textiles." shared Dr. SanketValia, Senior General Manager Business Development, Sarex Chemicals Ltd.
